In this work, we present a simplified LCA on two commom products: an aluminum can and a glass bottle, both containing the same amoung of beverage (1/3 L of beer). The work presented here seeks to find out which option would ...

Electrodialysis (ED) is a membrane separation process in which ions are transferred through selective ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) from one solution to another using an electric field as the driving force. ED is a mature ...

A mathematical model for reactive-transport processes in porous media is presented. The modeled system includes diffusion, electromigration and electroosmosis as the most relevant transport mechanism and water electrolysis ...

The study of the kinetics of heterogeneous solid-fluid reactions, such as dissolution- precipitation reactions is difficult due to the characterization of the solid-fluid interphase properties, and the possibility for the ...

Electrodialytic remediation has been widely used for the recovery of different contaminants from numerous matrices, such as, for example, polluted soils, wastewater sludge, fly ash, mine tailing or harbour sediments. The ...

Lithium-ion batteries play an important role in our modern society as the main option to power portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. The growing demand for these batteries encourages the development of more ...

The sequential extraction procedure as a tool to assess the environmental risk of metals in solid matrices has been widely studied. In this work, other promising application of these methods is proposed: the evaluation of ...

Risk assessment aims for the prediction of the mobility of contaminants, and these are usually based in lab essays together with mathematical modelling. Also the feasibility studies of most techniques, require similar ...
